1978 Map of Beaufort

Inland, the Seaboard Coast Line railroad links mainland settlements like Ridgeland and Grahamville to the coast. Cultural and natural landmarks are well-represented, including the Fort Pulaski National Monument at the mouth of the Savannah River and the Tybee Lighthouse. Preservation areas such as Hunting Island State Park and the Tybee National Wildlife Refuge appear alongside established coastal communities like Bluffton and Frogmore, illustrating the era's balance between military utility, conservation, and local settlement.
